I recommend going with the OpenRun Pro if you're going to buy some. I have both the OpenRun Pro and the less expensive OpenMove, and the OpenRun is more comfortable and has better sound quality.

I'm a bigger guy (over 200 pounds) who runs marathons so my concern is the cushioning and the impact on my feet. I put a 500 km limit on my running shoes, after that they graduate to walking shoes or general gym shoes. My go-to are Asics, and I wait until a new model comes out and then buy last season's shoes at a discount, anywhere from $60-$110 for a pair depending on what color I want.

This is exactly what I do. It lends itself to something like 'prefix_specific-info_version' which is both sortable and easy to read.

Seems like if the UK government doesn't want them sold to a foreign party then the UK government should purchase them and keep them safe.

I've got a Eufy RoboVac 30 and until reading this post it didn't even occur to me to see of there's an app. Turns out there is, but we've never used it and never connected it to our wifi. We just hit the button to turn it on and it works just fine. It came with a remote that we can use to set a schedule but as far as I know it has no way to call home.

Congrats! I have such a hard time keeping my HR low while running. Last winter I added some stationary bike to my routine because it's much easier to control my HR over a long workout. I also only have 2x 33km in my marathon plan, I may need to add another, but I don't think I could keep it up for 6 months!

I very much prefer the front pocket vest to the backpack reservoir when running, it sloshes around a lot less. I also put about 1/8 tsp salt in each of the 500ml flasks for a little bit of electrolytes to prevent cramping on long runs.

I think what you're looking for is Standard of Living. The economy may be doing well but the standard of living is stagnant or going down for many.

Not at all, unless you have poor running form. Many people are able to run just fine for their entire lives, even running marathons in their 70s and 80s.

I listen to music. Sometimes I use Spotify's auto-generated playlists and find new things. I was also into the "Zombies, Run!" app for quite a while which is a zombie apocalypse story that unfolds as you run, and you get to listen to music in between story clips.

I use my Garmin as a fancy stopwatch, I don't find its analytics are particularly useful. My forerunner has literally recorded me running a half marathon in 1h 55m, but it predicts my half marathon time would be 3h 17m?
